How Do We Grieve For An America That Isn’t Ours? Together


It would be hard to inspect these election results without considering the impact of the progressive vote. Just over half a million people — or 0.7% of voters — cast their ballots for Jill Stein and other leftist candidates. In most states, this turnout was negligible enough to not make or break the election results. Only in Dearborn, Michigan, and a few other districts, could Jill Stein voters have made the difference by voting for Harris. It still wouldn’t have been enough to change Harris’ electoral college count as she needed many more county wins to tip her over the magic number of 270. In Wisconsin, third-party votes actually shrunk from both 2016 and 2020. By-and-large, even in Michigan, progressive protest voters didn’t lose the election for Harris — though they did make their dissent heard.
